Alicia Quatermain 2: The Stone of Fate

A clear the road time management game with 50 levels to play. It is a bit harder than the first game in the series but still pretty easy (at least on normal) to beat. While the store page doesn't claim to have Linux support when trying to download the game on Linux it just downloads an empty folder, but you can force Steam to use Proton instead and then it works perfectly fine (tested on 7.0-1).

Alicia Quatermain 2: The Stone of Fate is a decent follow-up to the first game, though it falls short in several key areas. While the game maintains the same charming art style and level design, it’s hard not to notice the absence of quality-of-life features that were present in the original. One of the main drawbacks is the removal of features that made the first game more enjoyable. These omissions make gameplay feel more cumbersome and less fluid. Additionally, Alicia Quatermain 2 lacks the polish and user-friendly mechanics found in similar games like Hercules. The story and characters are still entertaining, but the overall experience is marred by the lack of conveniences. As a result, my time with the game was not as positive as I had hoped. Fans of the first game or those new to the series might still find some enjoyment here, but it's hard to overlook the areas where Alicia Quatermain 2 could have been improved.

Fun as always. If you've played Hercules and liked it, you will like this. There's just something about lil resource collectors that manage to keep my attention better than some AAA games.

Alicia Quatermain 2: The Stone of Fate, developed by Jetdogs Studios and Whalebox and published by Jetdogs Studios, continues the charming blend of adventure storytelling and time management gameplay that defined the first game in the series. Once again, players join the spirited explorer Alicia Quatermain, the granddaughter of the legendary adventurer Alan Quatermain, as she embarks on another globe-trotting expedition. This time, Alicia sets out to uncover the secrets of the mythical Stone of Fate, a powerful artifact said to hold mystical energy and ancient wisdom. The story unfolds across a variety of exotic locations—from the dense jungles of India to snow-covered mountain ranges and mysterious hidden temples. The narrative is lighthearted but effective, serving as a pleasant backdrop for the puzzle and strategy-driven gameplay. It evokes the spirit of classic adventure tales, mixing archaeology, mystery, and humor in a way that keeps the pacing engaging without overwhelming the player with exposition. The gameplay remains firmly rooted in the time management and resource optimization formula that Jetdogs Studios has refined over the years. Each level presents a map filled wi…

Nice time management game.

better than the first game in every way minus the writing still sucks
